How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately. Unplug the ice maker and leave it disconnected until the fault is found.
- Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
- Check for moisture: Look inside the base and control areas for signs of water leaks that may contact wiring. Repair leaks and dry thoroughly.
- Isolate components (for technicians): A professional can disconnect compressor, heater, and pumps one at a time to identify the shorted component.
- Replace faulty part: Once identified, replace the shorted compressor, heater, or other component with an Asko-approved part.
